Abstract

Speaking anxiety is one of the major affective barriers that hinder students’ oral performance in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. This study aims to investigate the levels, forms, and contributing factors of speaking anxiety among Grade XI students at SMAN 3 Pematangsiantar. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations. The findings reveal that students experience a high level of speaking anxiety influenced by five interrelated factors: psychological, linguistic, pedagogical, sociocultural, and environmental. Psychological factors such as fear of making mistakes, low self-confidence, and fear of negative evaluation emerged as the most dominant contributors. Linguistic limitations, particularly vocabulary shortages, pronunciation difficulties, and grammatical concerns, also increased students’ hesitation to speak. Pedagogical aspects, including teacher correction styles, unclear task instructions, and difficult speaking tasks, further intensified anxiety. Sociocultural influences, such as peer judgment and cultural norms of silence, shaped students’ reluctance to speak, while environmental conditions like large class sizes and limited speaking opportunities outside the classroom exacerbated the problem. The study concludes that speaking anxiety is a complex and multidimensional issue requiring comprehensive support from teachers and institutions. Creating a more supportive, communicative, and low-anxiety classroom environment is essential for improving students’ speaking confidence and fluency.

Abstract

This research aims to describe in-depth the dialectical process of professional identity formation among pre-service teachers through multidimensional involvement in partner schools. Teaching practicum (PPL) is often narrowly perceived as a mere instructional exercise; however, field realities reveal a complex and systemic multidimensional involvement. Utilizing a qualitative method with a narrative inquiry approach, this study explores the subjective experiences of a student teacher at SMP Negeri 12 Pematangsiantar. Data were collected through participant observation, practicum reports, and narrative reflections compiled over a twelve-week period. The results indicate that the student undergoes a process of "becoming a teacher" through a dialectic between the pedagogical idealism of the university and the structural pragmatism of the school. Involvement extending beyond classroom boundaries—encompassing character internalization, administrative management, and learning resource organization—functions as an authentic laboratory for constructing professional identity. The study concludes that multi-tasking demands are not merely technical obstacles but transformative instruments that mature the self-efficacy and ethical commitment of future educators. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of repositioning teaching practicum programs as dynamic spaces for identity negotiation in facing the complexities of the educational ecosystem.

Abstract

English is an international language that plays an important role in communication, education, and future career development. However, many Indonesian students still struggle with low motivation when learning English because teaching practices are often teacher-centered and lack interactive media. To address this issue, this study explored Grade 10 students’ perspectives on the use of Kahoot! as a game-based learning platform to enhance their motivation in English learning at SMA YP HKBP Pematangsiantar. This research employed a quantitative descriptive method with a survey design, using a Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 16 students who had experienced Kahoot!-based activities. The findings revealed that 68.75% of the students showed very positive perceptions toward Kahoot!, indicating that the platform increased their excitement, participation, and enjoyment during English lessons. Students also reported improvements in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of learning, suggesting that Kahoot! made the classroom atmosphere more active, engaging, and student-centered. Overall, the study concludes that Kahoot! effectively enhances students’ learning motivation by offering a fun, competitive, and interactive learning experience. Therefore, integrating Kahoot! into English classrooms is recommended as a strategy to improve students’ motivation and encourage their active involvement in learning.

Abstract

Previous research on Teams Games Tournament (TGT) has been dominated by a quantitative focus on learning outcomes, creating a gap in understanding the affective and psychosocial aspects of learning. This qualitative phenomenological study aims to describe the lived experiences of tenth-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Siantar in learning English through the TGT model. Through phenomenological interviews with 35 students, this study identified five essential themes: (1) Motivation and Learning Enjoyment, (2) Teamwork and Sense of Connectedness, (3) Competition and Emotional Pressure, (4) Independence and Self-Reflection, and (5) Meaningful Learning. The findings reveal that the dynamics of TGT effectively fulfill the Three Basic Psychological Needs in Self-Determination Theory (SDT): Relatedness, Competence, and Autonomy. Overall, students perceive TGT as a “living” and meaningful learning experience, as it integrates academic aspects with the development of soft skills such as collaboration and confidence.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the most important skills in English learning because it allows students to communicate ideas directly. However, many learners face speaking anxiety which makes them nervous, less confident, and unable to perform well in class. Most previous studies discussed this problem with quantitative methods, but there is still a need for a deeper description by reviewing and comparing qualitative findings. Therefore, this mini research was conducted as a descriptive qualitative library study by analyzing five previous articles related to students’ speaking anxiety. Referring to Horwitz (1986), speaking anxiety can be divided into communication apprehension, test anxiety, and fear of negative evaluation. The review shows that the dominant indicators are fear of making mistakes, lack of vocabulary, and low self-confidence. These factors cause nervousness, forgetting words, avoiding participation, and only fair scores in speaking assessments. In conclusion, speaking anxiety is a common phenomenon in English classrooms, and teachers need to provide motivation, supportive learning environments, and more speaking practice to help students reduce their anxiety and improve their performance.

Abstract

This literature review investigates the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based English learning applications on learners’ motivation and engagement in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. The rapid growth of digital education has brought AI technologies such as Duolingo, ELSA Speak, Memrise, and ChatGPT-based tutors into language classrooms, transforming traditional pedagogy. Through a synthesis of recent empirical studies, this review explores how AI-based tools enhance motivation through adaptive feedback, gamification, personalization, and real-time support. It also identifies challenges such as the novelty effect, limited social interaction, and technological inequality. The findings indicate that AI platforms can boost intrinsic and extrinsic motivation by supporting autonomy, competence, and relatedness—core components of Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000). Sustained motivation, however, requires integration with teacher guidance and social collaboration. AI tools serve best as complementary instruments that, when aligned with human empathy and pedagogy, foster engaging and sustainable learning experiences.

Abstract

Writing skill is a crucial component of English language learning; however, it remains one of the most challenging skills for many senior high school students, particularly in narrative writing. In the current classroom context, students of grade XI-3 SMA experience specific difficulties in generating ideas, developing coherent story plots, and organizing events logically. Many students struggle to construct complete narrative structures, including clear orientation, complication, and resolution, which often results in fragmented and incoherent texts. Common problems include poor event sequencing, limited vocabulary, weak paragraphs, and low cohesion. These difficulties are closely related to instructional practices that emphasize the final written product rather than the writing process. Students are frequently asked to write narrative texts without sufficient guidance on planning, organizing, and developing ideas systematically. Consequently, students feel confused, unmotivated, and anxious, which negatively affects their writing performance. This situation indicates the urgent need for an effective instructional technique. Mind Mapping was selected to address these issues because it helps students brainstorm ideas, organize story elements, and maintain narrative coherence. This Classroom Action Research involving 34 students showed improved writing achievement, with mean scores increasing from 65.21 to 82.46 and more students reaching Good and Very Good categories overall.
